The path wasn’t much. Cut into the hillside, a pale ribbon of chalk against the green. But it represented everything. The wide landscape stretched before them, fading into a green haze. Summer lay rich upon the land, bees buzzing in the flowers, butterflies dancing among the long grasses. In the fields the crops ripened, blue-greenContinue reading “#writephoto – Vista”

Wednesday Wander – San Sebastian Old Town
It’s Wednesday again, and this week I’m wandering back to Donostia San Sebastian, the beautiful Spanish coastal town I visited this past summer. Last time I wandered here, I visited the beaches, golden curves of sand deserving of their own blog post. This time, I’m venturing into the Old Town.

Wednesday Wander – Heidelberg Castle, Germany
It took me a while to figure out where to wander to this week. Usually a location will present itself to me, or I’ll scroll through my photos and find somewhere, but it all seemed a bit vague this week. Then I remembered a conversation I had with a fellow blogger where I mentioned Heidelberg,Continue reading “Wednesday Wander – Heidelberg Castle, Germany”
Green Eyed Monster
Another weekend, another article in the paper about a new writer getting a great publishing deal, being touted as ‘the next big thing.’ ‘Why not me?’ I think to myself, shuffling the pages resentfully. ‘When will it be my turn? Huh, bet they know someone in publishing, bet they’ve met an agent somewhere, had someContinue reading “Green Eyed Monster”
